SOLDIERS PENSIONS.

A bill has just passed the House of
Representatives at Washington, and
been favorably reported from the
Committee on Pensions in the Senate,
which, if it becomes a law, as now
seems likely, will make a uniform al
lowance of twelve dollars month to
all disabled or dependent soldiers of
any war in which the United States
may have been engaged, and the de-
pendent parents of soldiers and sailors.
This act, as the text plainly shows, will
add to the pension list all the surviving
soldiers of the Indian and Mexican
wars, and increase the rate paid to
pensioners of 1912 and the late war of
the rebellion. It will call for an addi-
tional expenditure of several millions
per annum-at least ten millions.
If the bill becomes a law, and the
probabilities are that it will, unless the
President interposes his veto, the long
agitated question Of what to do with
the surplus revenue will be partially
solved. No better way could be de-
vised for the expending of the millions
of dollars which now lie idle in the
Treasury The nation can well afford
to pension its disabled defenders liber-
ally, and thus place them above want
and penury. When the tocsin of war
sounded they went to the front, and
gave their young manhood to the ser
vice of an imperilled country. Many
of them came home wounded and dis
abled for life, Others with health
shattered and constitution gone. Still
| others laid down their lives on the
CORY battlefield. For such great sacri-
fees the Republic can well afford to set
apart liberal sum. But, says one, it
is great throwing away of money,
and the nationis great loser thereby.
Untrue, every word of it. The money
devoted to the payment of pensions, is
money well spent as rule. 1t is
scattered broadcast throughout the
land, and becomes circulating medium
! to the great advantage of all classes
No harm can come to anybody by a
| liberal distribution OF the nations
/ richness to the nations defenders.
! Congress should allow the tax on liquor
and tobacco to remain, and let the Sol
diers OF the Union have the benefit of
it,

Cedarville Notes.

Mr. William Scull, an aged farmer
who lives alone in Sayres' Neck, fell
down the cellar stairway Thursday
morning and injured himself seriously
He received quite a severe cut ON the
head, striking a block in the cellar as
he fell. His condition was not known
until about IL a. m., when one of the
neighbors, Mr.. Sheppard Candy, went
over and found him standing by the
stove with scarcely any clothing on
He had undressed himself in the cellars
leaving his clothing there, and in his
endeavors to get up stairs had marked
the walls with his blood. Other neigh
bors came in, the doctor was sent for,
and Mr. Scull placed in bed. He
doesn't know any one yet, and it is
not known how his injuries will ter
inmate. At first there were some sus-
picions of foul play, but it was soon
clear to all that he had fallen himself.
He had been acting strangely for a
day or two.
The extra meetings are still con-
tinued at the Nj. E. Church. Some
interest is manifested, and some have
professed conversion.
Nathan S. Bateman was aroused
night before last by having his front
door violently kicked and pounded.
As soon as he could, he came down
stairs with his gun, and as the parties
ran over the dam, he fred a shot at
them. He promised himself to shoot
closer next time. n. p.

Baptist Churches, situated in Burling-
ten, Camden, Salem, Gloucester, Cum
berland and Atlantic counties, which
amounts to over four hundred dele

iority of the members of the association
is to make all south of Camden a dis
tinct association. The association is
about equally divided on the subject.
1t is thought that the lower counties

With the exception of the Cumber

gotten out by Reeves s. Bacon, of this
city, and Stuart & Tobey. By the
total it will be seen that the insurance
only covers about half the loss.
Miss Alice Hankins, residing on Giles

broke out, and would doubtless have
perished had it not not been for the

Mrs. Jane CARL, living on Elmer St.,
sustained severe fall on Tuesday
night. She had been stopping with
her daughter, Mrs. Samuel Basset, on
Bank street, and about seven o'clock
went around to her home for few
moments. She did not return, and
Mrs. Basset supposed she had con-
cluded to stay home during the night
About eleven o'clock at night Mrs
Basset heard knock, and went down
stairs to find her mother standing
upon the steps with the blood stream
ing down her face from an ugly cash
in the head. She said she had fallen
and had gotten right up and come
back. The supposition is that Mrs.
CARL fell down the cellar steps early
in the evening, and laid there uncon-
scious for some time before coming
back to her daughters. Several
bruises were found upon her arm.
She is now doing very well, despite the
severity of her injuries.

The CoIors and Motions Required to Do

1t is very difficult TO teach granting

knowledge can be obtained only by
years of practice. We do not profess
to be expert on this sort of thing, as
it is a little out of our line, still we will
do our best.
The groundwork for black walnut
should be made of white lead, yellow
ocher, Venetian red and black, and
should dry with somewhat of an oil
gloss. To obtain any degree of per-
lection in Initiating burl walnut or any
other wood. it is necessary to procure a
panel or bits of veneer, and copy the
color and form the grain as nearly as
possible. The grain color should be
burnt lumber.
To grain in oil. mix the grain color
i'm boiled linseed oil and turpentine,
and add little soap or whiting, or
both. as it makes the color flow more
freely. For distemper color. grind the
grain color in ale. beer, vinegar. or
whisky, (the latter TO be preferred in
cold weather). the object being to bind
the color so that it will not rub off.
Graining should be done with free
and careless notion of the hand, yet
having an eye to the character of the
wood to be initiated. Glazing colors
are transparent, and should be used
very thin. whether in oil or distemper
color. Blending should be done by

EATING TOO MUCH.
Vice That Was at One Time Cultivated
Among Different Peoples

A Vice That Was at One Time Cultivated
Among Different Peoples.
The testimony of theologians, of his
torians and of an immovable tradition,
embodied in most if not all European
languages. proves that among our re-
mote though civilized ancestors, it was
a common thing for men to cultivate
the appetite for quantities of food till
it became diseased, and that they
gorged themselves with it habitually,
till they became almost as incapable of
business and duties of life as drunkards
now do. They sought quantity, they
ate for eating's sake until they could
eat no more, and when they ceased.
were as incapable as many animals af-
ter similar indulgence. ct is popu-
lar mistake to suppose that only pigs
are gluttons. Horses and cattle will
kill themselves with certain kinds of
food, and so will individual dogs. while
all the wild carnivores are liable at
times to eat themselves into temporary
imbecility). They could not work.
they could not converse. and they
could not think. They were full to
bursting, and repeated the feeding I'M

and their faculties died away as COM

easier to apply. Many of the
Roman mobiles were gluttons as well
as gourmands; indeed the accounts of
their feasts indicate a deep delight in
overeating as well as epicurism; and it
is probable that the vice existed in Sy-
ria, and amidst a generally abstemious
populations Jew to this day is rarely
a drunkard. and an Arab never-may
have seemed specially disgusting. An
other bit of evidence is the continuance
of the practice in the East. Men who
eat enormously, who crave for huge
quantities of food and seek in over
eating torpor which pleases them as
much as the calm before stupefaction
pleases the drunkard, or apathetic rest
the opium-smoker. or bef the tobacco
smoker, are perfectly well known types
throughout India (where every district
has its notorious glutton). in China and
and among some African tribes. In
deed, Captain Colville, in his recent
ride through Morocco, became con-
vinced that even the Moors, who are
distinctly abstemious by habit, count in
their ranks men to whom Overesting is
